Chapter 57

Sinclair staggered through the doorway, looking like he&039;d been through a hurricane Or through a whole shitload of devil worshippers Having vaood, but it didn&039;t uys couldn&039;t take a piece or two out of you

His suit was in tatters; his face was streaked with blood I iine I didn&039;t look

"Some of them are dead," he informed me "Some of them ran off"

Marc called fro to need medical attention! I&039;ll do what I can"

Sinclair took in the ruined room, the holes in the walls, the broken s, Laura, unconscious on the floor

"Are you all right?"

"Shit, no But I&039;ll live How about you? You look like somebody dropped you into a blender and pressed puree"

"What a coincidence That is precisely how I feel"

I went to hi my eyes as he stroked my back "Laura&039;s mom was here"

"That explains much"

"It explains ht"

I looked up at hiht when she realized her s all this tiined Sinclair didn&039;t need me to spell out the ra his teeth, I kneas equal parts pissed for htened for me

Because if Laura could kill th and speed all this tie around here? A hter?

And what about the next time Laura and I butted heads? Much as I hated to admit it, there most likely would be a next tiht Frankly, I was pretty sure she&039;d only thrown this one because I&039;d shocked her with the bald truth There were only so many times I could play the sister card

And next tiht kick ht into hell, and then bye-bye for every vaet her hands on a lot Especially since she apparently had folloould do whatever she asked Legions of them

It should have been over

But it wasn&039;t We&039;d earned a temporary respite, that was all
